Young Lady Drowned.

Coroner Wright received a Telegram
on Saturday evening that a young lady
had been drowned at Lebanon. three
miles below Dover, and he rode down
the next morning to hold the inquest.
The name of the Miss was Gertrude
Gibson, Of Harrington, in her fifteenth
year, who had come up to visit her
brother at that place and attended the
camp meeting. On that afternoon she
and another young lady concluded to
take bath III Jones' creek, Just little
way from the house. In getting out
in water to their waist the unfortunate
young lady was cautioned by the other
not to venture further, but she said
there was no danger, that if she got
over her head she could swim, but al
most before the remark passed her lips
she stepped in o a hole cut by the
dredging machine, and instead ofswim-
ming, with a deathly grip pulled her
friend in after her. They struggled in
the water with a vain effort to get foot
ing, fortunately help reaching in time
to save the one nearest the shore when
she was going down the third time.
The other had gone to the bottom and
was not found for an hour afterwards.
The deceased had intended to return
home that day, but remained because
of a letter received telling her to stay
until the first of the week. OF course
the unfortunate event made it a day OF
sadness in the village.

Government Appronriations.

In the recommendation for improve

100000.
Though furnishing more commerce
than any stream emptying into the bav,
Smyrna creek has not the appropriation
of "A cent. Perhaps however Gen.
Smith was waiting for the completion
of the papors OF the recent survey of
the creek, which has been very com
plete from It's source to its mouth. Bv
the aid Of this survey he can doubtless
give our creek a good recommendation
in his next anuual report. The follow
ing comprises what is said Of it in the
report:
Duck creek was originally obstruct-
ed by a bar at its entrance, having but
3 feet of water at low tide and between
the mouth and Smyrna, the head of
navigation, there existed 8 shoals with
a minimum depth of2l feet. The orig
inal project is to eXcavate a 100 feet
channel feet deep at mean low water
at the mouth and remove the shoals.
\ channel was cut through the mouth
in 1880 and 1881, but The channel soon
filled up for want Of protecting work.
Nothing has since been done for lack OF
funds. An act Of August jth, 1886,
directed a survey and estimates which
will be ready to be presented to the
next Congress"

Drainage.

The heavy rains making rivulets of
our streets have washed down the sand
into the recently enlarged culverts at
the Main street crossings so as to re-
qulre their opening for its removal.
These waters accumulating in force
pass on down below Whopping where
according to the revised code concern
ing the draining of town, they are run off
into the low lands, in our case accumu-
latlng in what was formerly known as
Patterson's lot. This gives no trouble
except in seasons of excessive rains.
and at such times has not failed to en-
gage the attention of the Town Com
missIoners, Board of Health as well as
Interested private citizens.
The experience in culvert laying in
our town raises the question as to its
practical benefit after the very large
outlay of laying a pipe for distance
OF nearly half mile, for an open ditch
would not be tolerated by the land
owners through which it would have
to pass. If the short culVerts above re-
ierred to till up in few week, and as
also did that at the Bombay Hook rail-
road crossing on the same street caus-
ing an overflow, what might be expect
ed Of one at the termination of the
sand and filth deposit? This pool of
stagnant water on our eastern confines
IS certainly a very undesirable thing
that everyone would like to get rid Of.
but just how to do it efIectually-tak-
ing the financial and engineering fea-
lures both into VIEWS the question.

The Lightnings Stroke.


The storm of Saturday was very sim
liar to its predecessor Of the Saturday
two weeks previous, only of shorter
duration. In both cases the rain fall
was heavy, and the electrical fusilade
frightful to timid nerves. The latter
however was the worst from a mile
east of the town to tho bay. The first
casualty was the barn on the farm oc-
cupied by John Cole mile and a half
this side Of the Bombay Hook light
house. The barn was filled with his
oat crop in the sheaf which had been
put in there to protect it from the
weather-abOut 1000 bushels. Mr.. C's.
brother Samuel had just taken shelter
, in a shed at the side of the barn with
his team when the flash came, remark
ing to his brother when the rattle had
ended that the lightning must have
struck somewhere near, and in a min-
ute or so after saw the smoke aud curl
ing flame breaking out from the build
ing. A horse, calf, wagon and an old
mower was all that was gotten out be-
fore the building was cnveloped in
flames. Mr.. Cole lost all his other
farming implements and the noultrv
that had taken shelter in the building
including about 100 turkeys. Mr.
Smith the owner had an insurance of
about $400 on the building in the Kent
County Mutual Insurance ComDanv.
Mr.. Coles loss is between $500 and
S4OO.
EIGHT MEN KNOCKED DOWN.
The second serious stroke was Mt b
F. c. Rothwell's mile north of Smvrua
Landing where the result like to have
been very serious to human life. pros
trating as it did eight men, two ofthem
barely escaping with their lives. Mr..
Rothwell had just finished thesh-
ing his grain crop between twelve and
one o'clock, when the big drops began
to descend, the men taking shelter In
wagon house because it was the most
convenient There were some twenty
or more of them thus sheltered when
the electrical shaft struck the end of
the building, ripping 10 to the ground
and knocking eight of tue number
the nearest to the end prOstrate, one of
them being Mr.. Rothwell himself. Two
of the men, William Turner and a col
orcd man, named Cesar Clifton who
were leaning on a wagon bed that rest
ed against the building near where the
current descended, were badly hurt
and at first thought to be killed. The
shirt was torn from the back of each
and both severely burned, Clifton the
worst, the most of his back being raw.
Consciousness was after rawhile restored

were brought to town for MEDICAL treat. !

The annual report of Gen. VIM. F.

ably interesting reading to those whom
it interests. 1t shows what has been.
and what is being done for Wilmington
harbOr, New Castle piers, St. Jones
river and other rivers and creeks in
the State. The latter it appears has
had $22, ,635.24 expended on it by the
Government, with a further recommen-
dation of $4,000, or nearly ffty-fve
thousand altogether for its completion.
Smyrna or Duck Creek with a com
meree greatly in excess, only about
half the length and therefore less ex-
pensive, and besides serving the pur-
pose Of a harbor in times Of stress Of
weather, has no appropriation at all,
though it has been diligently sought
by appeals for years. The Engineer
modestly says nothing has been done
for lack of funds" All! there's the
rub; the congressman from our State
have been more interested in other
places. Duck Creek was both safe and
patient.

A Day at the Beach.

MIR EDIroR:-The Good Telnplars
and others Of Smyrna and vicinity
were favored with delightful day on
Thursday last for their picnic at
Woodland Beach, being more or less
cloudy throughout the day, with a stiff
breeze from Off the bay, driving mos-
qmtoes from the beach away. togethar
with excellent bathing made it a y,i.
pleasant occasion to all. and among the
merry happenings Of that dav. We
ltJolce to believe, that after careful in
curry, not one Of our company Of Good
Iemplars had been enticed to take q
ollnk OF ardent spirits Of any kind
much less to get intoxicated. as was
feared ana predicted by some of the
good people of Smyrna. who love
Woodland Beach about as well NJ tbev
would a rattle-snake, judging from
Their conversation. Now Sir. Editor
we think that we have the temperance
cause and interest of the young folks of
our lodge as much at heart, as those
VINO talk great deal and do less. We
are persuaded that there is no plaee
along the beach in any direction, but
what there Is liquor sold or brought
there. And we also believe that
Woodland Beach in the hands Of Mr..
Campbell is as well kept, and decent.
as any other place Of the kind. and in
regard to going to a grove near by 10
spend y day, the mosquitoes would
have run us oil directly, so I guess we
did about as we'll rs we could under
the circumstances and came awav un-
injured we trust. Yours truly.
